Definitions

  • This invention relates to an electric machine, for example a generator suitable for use in aerospace applications, and to a rotor suitable for use in such an application.
  • a rotor for use in an electric machine, the rotor comprising a rotor body provided with a plurality of slots, each slot housing electrical conductors of two independent coils, the conductors being secured in position by an outer wedge member, an inner wedge member being located between the outer wedge member and the conductors, the rotor including pole tips defining load bearing lips located adjacent the radially outer edges of each slot, wherein a part of each coil projects beyond the respective lips in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the coil.
  • the inner and outer wedge members are conveniently of modified shape.
  • the face of the outer wedge presented to the inner wedge is recessed in its region(s) of contact with the inner wedge.
  • the invention further relates to an electric machine, for example an electrical generator, including such a rotor.
  • Figure 1 illustrates part of a conventional rotor arrangement for use in an electrical generator.
  • the rotor arrangement of Figure 1 comprises a laminated rotor body 10 formed with four equi-angularly spaced slots 11 such that the rotor 10 defines four equi-angularly spaced, radially outwardly extending limbs (poles) around which coils 12, 13 are wound.
  • the radially outer region of each pole defines a pole tip, each slot 11 being arranged to house electrical conductors forming parts of two of the coils 12, 13 of the rotor winding of the generator.
  • the coils 12, 13 are held in place in the slots 11 by means of outer wedge members 14, and inner wedge members 15.
  • Each slot 11 is shaped so as to be of symmetrical form, the sides of the slot 11 being of stepped form, each side of the slot 11 defining an inner step 11 a which serves to locate the radially outermost part of each coil 12, 13, and an outer step or lip 16 which serves to locate the associated outer wedge member 14.
  • each coil 12, 13 engages the step 11 a , the remaining 50% of the thickness of each coil 12, 13 engaging a respective end part of the outer wedge member 14. It will further be appreciated that all of the end part of the outer wedge member 14 which is in engagement with one of the coils 12, 13 is fully supported by the adjacent lip 16.
  • the rotor In use, if the generator of which the rotor forms part is used in an aerospace application, then the rotor will be rotated at high speed, for example at speeds up to 24000rpm. It will be appreciated that at such high speeds, a large magnitude centrifugal force is applied by each coil 12, 13 to the adjacent steps 11 a and through the outer wedge members 14 to the lips 16.
  • the rotor 10 and the outer wedge members 14 are designed to be able to withstand the application of these forces.
  • the arrangement of Figure 1 suffers from the disadvantage that magnetic flux saturation of parts of the rotor material occurs.
  • the coils 12, 13 are shifted to positions in which parts of each coil 12, 13 extend beyond the associated lips 16 in a direction perpendicular to the axis of that coil 12, 13. Such an arrangement is illustrated in Figure 2.
  • each outer wedge member 14 is shaped to include recesses 14 a , a central part 14 b of the outer wedge member 14 being of substantially equal thickness to that of the conventional arrangement illustrated in Figure 1.
  • the recesses 14 a are shaped to receive end regions 15 a of the adjacent inner wedge member 15, the end regions 15 a being of reduced length compared to the arrangement illustrated in Figure 1.
  • the outer and inner wedge members 14, 15 are conveniently constructed from titanium and beryllium copper, respectively. This choice of materials is advantageous in that these materials are of sufficient strength to withstand the application of the centrifugal forces thereto by the coils 12, 13, in use. Although each outer wedge member 14 is shaped to include recesses 14 a , the provision of the recesses 14 a does not significantly weaken the outer wedge member 14, analysis having shown that it is the thickness of the central region 14 b which is of importance in preventing bending of the outer wedge member 14.
  • the invention may be used in providing a generator of reduced dimensions which is capable of producing the same power output as a conventional generator of greater dimensions.
